    So can you tell us if MSN, Yahoo or the vertical SE's of China are providing filtered results too :confused:

    I think we all know they are so please provide facts proving otherwise!

    Oh dear... This rhetorical stuff will spin me into a headache. I suggest you keep your vote to yourself. And THINK about WHY YOU LOVE GOOGLE so much that you cannot be objective.

    Even though I dislike them, I have Adsense on many, many pages. AND I still hope to persuade them that my sites are worthy of more than sand.
    I really cannot see how you can judge your new president in the same breath or sentiment...

    Differentiate and focus on the issues as they deserve....

    Have a nice Day:cool:

    Are you from America :confused:

    Our "New President" :confused:

    I am defending Google from crazy people who are slamming them for doing nothing wrong at all. I support Google for giving people in China a search engine that can compete with Microsoft who is investing Billions in the fastest growing market in the world.

    This is not being blindly in love with Google, it is being fair to Google!

    What is Google supposed to do, say if we can't do it our way, we will not do business in China :confused:

    You must be insane man!

    I am defending Google and supporting them because they choose to do what is right in fighting the Bush administration, you don't know my history at all man!

    Yes they are. So why does everyone think Google have revolutionised internet searches in China? They haven't. So why did Google bother to move into China? To help the Chinese people. Have they done that? No, they've just added another SE to the already established ones.

    They will all play to China if it means getting a foot in the door of the next world-superpower. China is where the old money meets new money and make no mistake about it, the competition within China is less intense than in the West because of the restrictions in place. No corporation or powerful government can ignore the facts. Right now, the 'game' is creating 'footholds'

    Woah, how ironic is this?
    You hate the Bush adminstration because they're going against your constitution and what your country originally stood for.
    You love Google despite the fact they're going against their company motto and what their company originally stood for.

    Talk about a vain effort at winning a debate, if you think that was a winner you are grasping at straws big time to portray Google as doing something bad when they simply want to compete with the Billions that Microsoft is investing in China!

    You guys need to wake up!

    I think your trust in Google is rather naive, and a proof how effective their "don't be evil" marketing strategy is. There can't be a "good company" in our capitalist system, in a few years Google will either be another Microsoft, or it will be owned by Microsoft. The future is yet unwritten, but I only see these two possibilities. :D

    Really :confused:

    Microsoft happens to be the company with their backs to the wall, not Google.

    Microsoft has all kinds of problems with their flawed Windows OS, they have Linux open source software as a major competitor and they have web applications like Google and Yahoo to compete with, not to mention MAC :D

    I don't deny this really, as I said, either Google will be the next Microsoft, and eventually even own it one day, or vice versa.

    No, I don't. I'm saying their "don't be evil" marketing strategy is hypocritical, dishonest, and false from the beginning. Not providing the Bush administration the data was just part of that marketing strategy.

    What the hell is "evil" about wanting to compete with "The Evil Empire" :confused:

    Is Microsoft honest for making threats to computer makers that if they pre-load Linux that they will not give them licenses to sell Windows ???

    How do you think they have kept a 90% market share over the years, by being honest and fair?

    You just don't understand who Google is competing against do you??

    You don't get what I'm trying to say, do you? Of course MS isn't honest at all, you don't have to tell me that. My point is that google, despite of their self-branded image, is not any better, and can't be any better according to the logic of the capitalist system, when it really matters.

    Look man, business is not fair, it is like war.

    Bill Gates is not an evil person, he gives a lot of money away to help a lot of poor people, but in business he does not play fair OK.

    Google is a business, since business is not fair and most of the time not just either, you have to do some things you don't like to do, like lie, commit fraud knowingly and a lot of other crap to survive!

    Now get over it and learn man!
